That impacts whether you're eligible for overtime pay. Given that contractors are never mandated to receive overtime pay, a contractor position can never be superior in this regard.

Exempt status also impacts whether your hours are fixed or not. If they tell you that you must be in the office from 9AM to 5 PM, then you aren’t exempt.

That's not correct; the difference is that failure to fulfill such a requirement is a discipline issue (which can be dealt with by discipline up to an including termination), but not a pay issue based on hours worked as it would be for a non-exempt hourly employee.

They can have “core business hours” though - but they can’t dock your salary if you don’t comply with those hours.
